Hi there!
The two trapezoids are similar, so we can determine a common scale factor:
OL/UR = NM/TS
9/3 = 6/2
3 = 3
Trapezoid ONML is 3x larger than UTSR, so:
RS = 4, LM = y
3RS = LM
3 · 4 = y = 12.
Find x using the same method:
3UT = ON
3(2x+1) = 4x + 9
6x + 3 = 4x + 9
2x = 6
x = 3.
Answer:
slope: -1/2
y-intercept: -2
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = mx+b
m is slope
b is the y-intercept
so
if f(x) = -1/2x - 2
then
the slope or m is -1/2
and the y-intercept or b is -2

g + b + 0 = 1500
g + 0 + r = 750
g + b + r = 2000
